Tokisu Akechi Tanto Knife Black Rubber, Black Titaniun 7Cr17Mov (32697)
- Tokisu Akechi Black Rubber, Black Titanium - a full-size American tanto tactical knife made of black-coated 7Cr17MoV steel, equipped with an ergonomic high-grip rubber handle. Designed for field and defensive tasks.

This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
The Tokisu Akechi Black Rubber, Black Titanium 7Cr17MoV (32697) was designed as a reliable field tool, combining classic utility concepts with modern form and materials. It is a knife designed for users who need a reliable support both in everyday use and in outdoor, tactical or emergency conditions. Blade made of 7Cr17MoV steel is characterized by corrosion resistance and simple maintenance and sharpening. The American tanto profile ensures high penetration and tip durability, while the applied titanium coating increases abrasion resistance and reduces glare. The whole is supported by an ergonomic handle made of technical rubber, which offers a secure grip regardless of environmental conditions. It comes with a sheath made of ABS plastic and nylon, allowing for quick and secure attachment to a belt, backpack or MOLLE system equipment. The Tokisu Akechi 32697 is perfect for those looking for a tool that is ready for action, rugged to withstand the hardships of the terrain and convenient to use.
7Cr17MoV is a martensitic chromium steel, often referred to as an improved version of 440A steel. Its nominal chemical composition includes about 0.60-0.75% carbon (C) and 16.0-18.0% chromium (Cr), with additions of molybdenum (Mo) and vanadium (V) in smaller amounts. The higher chromium content provides very good corrosion resistance in typical environments. Carbon is responsible for hardness, which after appropriate heat treatment can reach about 56-58 HRC, which is sufficient for many applications. Molybdenum increases hardenability and improves resistance to pitting corrosion, while vanadium contributes to the formation of fine carbides, which increases abrasion resistance and allows the cutting edge to remain sharp longer. 7Cr17MoV steel is widely used in the mass production of kitchen knives, folding knives for everyday use (EDC), multi-tools and outdoor equipment, where a good combination of corrosion resistance, acceptable hardness and ease of sharpening is crucial .
Blade - made of 7Cr17MoV steel , valued for its corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening - qualities extremely useful in outdoor conditions. Thanks to the profile of the American tanto, the Blade maintains a high level of stiffness and piercing effectiveness, which translates into efficiency in emergency and tactical operations. The use of black titanium coating further increases the blade's resistance to abrasion and mechanical damage, while reducing light reflections. The flat grind promotes smoothness of cutting and allows controlled handling in a variety of materials, while the false blade on the back improves the penetration properties of the tip. The entire design has been thought out with durability, intuitive handling and resistance to heavy use in mind.
Handle - made of black technical rubber, resistant to abrasion, moisture and temperature fluctuations. The anatomical profile of the handle supports the natural positioning of the hand, increasing comfort and reducing fatigue during intensive use. The surface of the Handle has been covered with a non-slip texture, which guarantees a stable grip - even with gloves and wet hands. At the end is a steel head, with a hole for attaching a cord or safety lanyard, which increases functionality in dynamic field conditions. A sheath made of ABS plastic and nylon, compatible with the MOLLE system, is included, allowing the knife to be carried safely and quickly in various field configurations. With its minimalist form and durable construction, the Handle fits perfectly into the utilitarian nature of the knife. It's a solid, well-thought-out solution for anyone who wants a secure grip and ergonomics in all conditions.
